Swede’s PhotographsGood morning. 🐿️🐿️🐿️6 August 2025Yesterday, I finally took the time to mount my new bird feeder atop the post in the middle of the yard. I shored up the post with some short cedar pieces I picked up from Lowe’s ages ago. Funny thing—they’ve been sitting in the backyard shed for years, just waiting for me to get around to it. Kind of like the computer behind me, close enough to touch, with a new fan ready to be installed. I procrastinate sometimes.Truth is, I take my leisure time more seriously than I used to. My philosophy? If you own a recliner, you’d better use it—otherwise, it’s just going to waste. That’s an important truth, straight from the Drama Llama.“You can't just turn on creativity like a faucet. You have to be in the right mood. What mood is that?

Swede’s PhotographsGood morning. ⏰🫘☕29 July 2025We walked yesterday morning, but the sun and heat were brutal—for both me and Charlie—so we kept it to just a couple of miles. I do think walking helps my energy levels, though it’s a bit like charging a bad battery: it works, but the charge doesn’t last long. There’s a mountain of things I need to do, most of which end up on my “do tomorrow” list. Naps, though—I handle those with precision and urgency.This morning, I went out to feed the birds with Charlie’s help. It’s always a blast when I rinse and refill the birdbath. I set the hose nozzle to jet, and Charlie chases the stream back and forth like it’s his personal mission—pure joy. That’s enough for now.

VirginicusBush-hogged yesterday, but it was too hot to rake up the detritus for the compost heap. Early morning is cooler, so I left it for today. At dawn, all those pulverized weeds were soaked with dew, so I don’t need to water the pile.

Today I checked the toy market, & my two most interesting options were sold.A sign!Unsure if the sign's "you snooze you lose" or "you don't need more toys, use those you have" 🤔 😂Maybe a flash garden tool instead...

Jonathan B ✈️🪄👨🏻‍💻Shift work is the worst for having motivation to do stuff outside work (exercise, gardening, hobbies etc) as you can’t set a regular time to do things as your schedule never aligns with anyone else’s. I have so many projects and things I’d like to do but am always putting things off as I know I will never find the time to be able to complete them.
